Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 766 - 13 Strange Stories Breed, Ominous Phenomena Descend
After Wang Yunxiao left, Wang Ying began to take action, launching sweeping strikes against the small factions of the lower grades.
With the Yang Family brothers absent and Liu Pangxie out and not returned, the biggest power in the lower grades were only the Tang Family siblings and the Study Group they had established.
Wang Yunxiao did not know the specifics, but anyway, the progress was not very promising.
Wang Ying was indeed relying on her Combat Power to do as she pleased, but the Tang siblings took the route of magic and dark technology.
As a result, it turned into the current stalemate, with Wang Ying hanging up Tang Moli during the day for whipping, and at night Tang Moli casting spells to subject her to nightmares, conducting various indescribable tortures.
If no outsiders intervened, this struggle might last for a long time.
The school’s attitude towards this was one of encouragement,
With most of the wild monsters outside already farmed out, if they wanted to gain experience, they would have to encourage the students to engage in internal competition.
Without competition, there is no motivation for progress.
Groups like the literary club established by Zhou Qing and her friends would just lock the doors and play house, a pot of tea and a pack of cookies could last them all day. Although they had a low profile and reduced unnecessary strife, one should not expect them to form any fighting force.
It would be good enough if they didn’t cause any disasters themselves.
But with the return of Li Mumu and the addition of the Fusang Divine Witch, the situation began to change.
Principal Zhou said that letting Uesugi Risa take a stroll around the school every now and then would be sufficient, and at first, Wang Yunxiao didn’t quite understand what that meant.
Only after experiencing it in person did he understand what it meant to be a Divine Witch.
This was a walking source of contamination disguised as a human.
Walking in the school in the dead of the night, Wang Yunxiao could only watch as one indescribable horror story after another materialized out of thin air from the shadows behind her, accompanied by whispered murmurs spreading in all directions.
Of course, this was not a problem with Uesugi Risa herself.
The main reason lay in the spiritual pressure created by the Outer Dimension controlled by Bai Shanshan in this area. It conflicted with the divine power within Uesugi Risa, from which "residues" derived.
Simply put, it’s just like a chemical reaction; throw Bronze Ware into dilute sulfuric acid, and after some time, the rust will be cleared away, leaving behind murky sediments in the water.
It could also be called "karmic obstacles."
The Master of Ten Thousand Transformations, worshipped by the Fusang People, differs greatly from the domestic Cultivation System of the Twelve Laws. Wang Yunxiao didn’t understand the specifics, but from his own personal observation, the karmic obstacles carried by Uesugi Risa were particularly dense, almost coalescing to a liquid-like state.
She herself seemed completely unaware of this, feeling an inexplicable pressure and panic while wandering around the school, but feeling much relieved after leaving the school.
It felt like having a bath and being scrubbed clean of a bit of mud.
The horror stories released from her could perfectly serve as practice targets for the lower-grade students.
The first to realize the existence of these horror stories was the literary club formed by Song Lili and her group, who would research things like pencil spirits, summoning sessions, and apple peeling in front of the mirror at midnight...
They had fun, but it meant more pressure for the other students.
Within a week, three students had dropped out one after another, unable to bear the daily fear and torment.
With Chen Yan hospitalized and not returning, no one carried a Lantern to light the way at night, and ordinary people really couldn’t withstand the current eerie and bizarre atmosphere of the school.
However, this situation did not last long. On the third night after Li Mumu’s seclusion, a terrifying apparition appeared on campus.
From Qinghe to Nanke, in various dark corners, Manjushahua quietly bloomed.
The sound of flowing Netherworld Springs water whispered in the ears, and a faint scent of death permeated the air. Those newly born horror stories lacking complete Spirit Intelligence felt a deadly threat in this terrifying phenomenon and fell silent as if frozen with fear.
"Isn’t this worrying? This is really worrying, right?"
The little Witch gazed at the Manjushahua blooming in the corner, holding her weapon but still couldn’t suppress her trembling.
"Wang Sang, such an environment, isn’t it going to mutate all the students into Evil Ghosts?"
Not at all, it’s still a long way from that.
If you were to say knowledge is a kind of pollution, then the kids around here have max level resistance.
They can get up at six in the morning and subject themselves to the pollution of rotating subjects, continuing to be polluted until self-study ends at ten o’clock in the evening.
Though he said that out loud, Wang Yunxiao actually felt quite uneasy inside.
He had absolutely no idea what Li Mumu was up to.
Ever since she locked herself inside her little hut, no one was allowed entry. Especially not Jiang Yinyin, who was definitely not permitted to bring her friends over for playtime.
Only Wang Yunxiao visited every day to add firewood for the heated bed and to bring her some food and water.
But starting from yesterday’s strange occurrences, there has been no response from her in the room, not even touching the food and water left outside her door.
Wang Yunxiao was truly afraid that she might die in there.
However, overall, the current school environment can be said to be stable and improving.
In the past, when Bai Shanshan alone preached and passed on knowledge at Nanke High School, due to her personal limitations, what she taught was dry and unengaging.
It was like burning kindling under an empty pot.
The arrival of the Divine Witch Uesugi Risa added a ladle of water to this pot.
And then the subsequent supernatural phenomena that appeared further suppressed the growth of school-related ghost stories, acting like a lid placed on top of the pot.
The combination of these three elements resulted in a strangely stable equilibrium.
Now, this pot can finally cook rice normally.
More and more students who awakened to their cultivation talents in their dreams are appearing, with most of them practicing the Scholar and craftsman Dharma Gates, and even a few potential candidates who seem to be able to cultivate the Chess Herald and Advisor Dharma Gates have been nurtured.
No Garrison Soldiers were needed.
In a stable society with sound legal systems where one can study in peace, there was no longer any foundation for close-knit groups like Wang Yunxiao and his brothers, who relied on each other for warmth and trust.
By the end of October, the brothers were gradually discharged from the hospital and returned to school.
The Yang Family brothers also came back; both entered the hospital one after the other and had a brush with death. After coming back, the two brothers seem much more composed and no longer had the edgy appearance they did at the start of the school term.
Every generation has its own problems, and Wang Yunxiao didn’t pay much attention to the grievances and affections of the younger students.
Except for Liu Pangxie, this blockhead.
"Big bro, I’ve taken a liking to a girl."
"Hm."
Coming from Liu Pangxie, this statement was as trivial as him eating two big bowls of porridge today; it wasn’t worth noting, and Wang Yunxiao didn’t take it seriously.
"I really took a liking to her this time, I want to make her my wife!"
"Hm? Does she feel the same?"
"I think there’s about a twenty percent chance she might have thoughts about me."
Twenty percent... how did you calculate that?
"Who is it?"
"Miss Yang."
"Yang Youxuan?"
"Right."
Wang Yunxiao patted Liu Pangxie on the shoulder, and earnestly advised, "Eat well, and don’t think too much."
